Orlando Bee Swarms


A colony of honey bees can be likened to an organism, and the prime directive of organisms is to reproduce--and that is what a swarm is!! Bee colony reproduction! An existing colony sends out maybe 20,000 workers, drones and the queen, to go find a new place to build a colony and thrive.

Usually, but not always, these swarms are relatively docile, and are transitory, meaning they will leave in a few hours. Please, don't provoke them into a stinging incident, by self treating yourself. Give us a call, and we'll help you determine if you should have us remove them. In most cases, you won't have to do a thing, but wave as they leave. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Bees in a Tree in Ocala, FL



These Bees decided to not go with the normal "build your nest in a void" but instead to create an external honey bee nest. External honey bee nests normally arent so successful because it is more difficult to keep the temperatures correct and the bees are open to the environment.

This nest was quite successful, and at the time removal was at its prime. The nest weighed over 75 pounds and was very aggressive and plentiful. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.

Bees flying around plants in your yard?


Every Spring and summer, we get many people calling our lines, scared that they have killer bees because they are seeing thousands of bees, wasps, flies and other insects flying in and around their plants, visiting flowers and not exhibiting any coordinated group activity. We are not referring to 'honey bee swarms' which are different, and can be viewed here.

Normally when this happens the plants around your yard or garden are flowering. This is called "foraging". No fear here, the bees are not trying to find a new nest, and are not harmful so don't worry. If they are flying into your house then there may be a problem.


Think of it, many bees, wasps, flies and other insects are attracted to the nectar that flowers exude. In exchange for this high sugar flight fuel, the insect will inadvertently transfer some pollen between flowers, therefore helping to pollinate these plants. What could be more natural?

Though you may be intimidated by all the activity, my suggestion is to observe nature's splendor. The plant-insect relationship has taken millions of years to evolve, and it makes the world go round in one sense. In most cases the bees and wasps don't even notice that you are nearby. Once the flowers have finished providing the nectar, the activity will cease. And you've done your part in assisting nature.

Cocoa Beach Bee Swarm Removal



Here is a European Honey Bee Swarm, this is able to be easily identified as european by the quantity of bees. The African Honey Bees swarm more frequently, but in smaller groups.

This nest was relocated due to the fact we were almost 100% sure it was a safe and calm, also the house was in a remote area with neighbors over 100 feet away. With over 50,000 bees inside we had to use two hive box's to fit them all! It is nice to see the old school swarms still around, that are much more docile than African Killer Bee swarms. If you come in contact with these stinging insects, call the experts.Contact the stinging insect specialists, entomologists, beekeepers, licensed and insured.
